Great Demo
It was fun while it lasted
Reviews for "Newgrounds RPG Demo"
Looking forward to it...
This is certainly origional!! I liked the idea and from what I saw in this demo, the finished thing is going to be great! This reminded me of the Frank's Adventure series of games a little bit.
Now some constructive comments I think. First of all there are three notable problems with the demo. They are...
1. Depending on the power of the computer, he either walks normally or too slowly. I have a very powerful PC so it was ok for me but on a friends he may as well have been wading through water for the amount of time it took him to get anywhere. Changing the qaulity does not seem to alter this very much.
2. His movement seems to be time lagged. If you are moving him left and you take your hand off the key, he continues to move left for a bit less than a second before he stops. It gets a bit annoying in the forest!
3. There is a bug in the combat mode where if you strike your enemy when he is dead but before his body and health meter fade away, his health bar sticks and your doomed to remain in combat mode for ever more unless you start the game again.
Hopefully these will be resolved in the full version. I look forward to seeing it.
Oh...and that comment by the Madness guy standing by the Marshmellow...brilliant humour! ;-)
Please respond if your read this
When i played your game i love it but was appaled at the battle system. I know its a demo but to make sure u fix it heres some suggestions. First of all all those other commands are pointless since all u need to do is stand stil and press attack. To fix this let your guy do jump attacks, croush attacks, gaurd up, and down, and maybe throw in some special mopves (not too many cuase you dont wanna slow down a crap comp too badly and its alot of work) and finnaly some counter attack (block then rightaway attack. Also having an inventory screen where u can outfit your guy A la Toon the Rpg (Demo),you should check it out for ideas. Also make your guy look different with different armor and shit because theres nothing people like more then having a kickass guy. Please understand i loved your game but i just want to make sure when the actual one comes out you dont just add stuff but improve.
please respond:)
pretty good
this is a nice demo, however i think the character moves a little bit too slow... just my thoughts, otherwise great job keep up the good work
great idea and the makings of a good RPG
Pretty good job. Its a great premise to start (this site deserves this kind of an homage to its classic characters).
As to the game. Not to bad, but a demo is designed to help identify flaws to make a better finished product, and this is no exception.
The graphics are a little wanting in regards to detail, though that may be what you're going for, so I won't push there. Excellent drawings of the Madness and Stick figure characters!
Sound is wonderful. I only hope you have more tracks planned for the full version.
gameplay wise you did a great job with keeping the controls simple, and the use of NPC's and traditional "random encounter" enemy fights is well done. However, I am hoping the scope of the fights is broader than simple melee weapons (ranged weapons and magic!).
Overall, all the makings of a great RPG here. Looking forward to it.
